Aspiring performers looking to make their big break in Broadway and beyond can bring their jazz and tap shoes or best 16 bars to Disney Theatrical Productions’ multi-city open casting call for current and future productions of the Tony Award-winning musicals The Lion King and Aladdin.
Casting directors from both productions will be seeking charm, charisma and confidence from actors, singers who move well and dancers needed to fulfill ensemble roles as well as to cover or replace lead characters. Singers will simultaneously be considered for both shows during the vocal audition. Dancer calls are staggered by gender and by show, so that dancers can attend auditions for both.
Performers of all cultural backgrounds are strongly encouraged to journey to the Pride Lands or Agrabah. Casting details and breakdowns for each show can be found HERE. Note there are strict age and height requirements.
The cities and dates are as follows:
- Chicago: Nov. 7 & 8
- Los Angeles: Nov. 11, 12 & 14
- Atlanta: Dec. 12 & 13
- Toronto: Jan. 16 & 17
- Washington, D.C.: March 12 & 13
- Orlando: April 9 & 10
- Miami: April 12 & 13
- Dallas: April 30 & May 1
- New Orleans: May 7
Last year marked Disney’s 20th anniversary of its first Broadway venture, Beauty and the Beast. As many as 12 shows have been produced to transform classic stories in new and exciting ways. The Lion King musical – based on the 1994 Disney animated film – made its Broadway debut in 1997, and has become the highest grossing production on The Great White Way at more than $1 billion. Aladdin opened on Broadway March 2014 and Tokyo, Japan, this May. It has a Germany debut in December and enters West End next year.
The galvanizing experience of these musicals, which have been seen by millions of people, can be felt in the friendly airport sing-off by members of each cast during a six-hour delay earlier this year.
